My friend told me that some plurkers have been complaining about me using demo Tuli Claire skin in my blog entry called 'Mwah'. Well to be honest I don't see the problem, however dear plurkers ... as I did not like the blog entry anyway I replaced it with this Christmas girl outfit AND guess what YEAH today after ample consideration I bought the Claire brunette skin.

Price is L$ 1000 and can only be bought by members of the Skin Addict group. For that amount of money you get: 12 different make up options (6 freckled), 8 different lipsticks, several cleavage options and a shape. Not bad, so a sincere thanks to Tuli for being so generous.

Second Life is all about emotions. Well nothing new about that, but I am again fully aware of this. Is it bad? Nope, but pfff it's intense to discuss about one's feelings, differences in character and deep thoughts (some safely tugged away), in chat and in a non-native tongue. Most important thing: you cannot see nor hear the other person. So you can only interpret his/her emotions by analyzing the text he/she types, the silences there are (no text), the amount of mistakes made, etc

Sometimes I wonder why am I doing this, why not keep to myself, behind my safely self built wall and shop, dance, explore and blog about it ... After all I did that for a long long time over the past 1,5 year; i.e. lead a quiet SL, apart from a few lovers....

However, since I met Matt 2 months ago we have become very close. Now that means a totally different SL for me. Now it's difficult not to discuss certain issues that come up and I cannot tp away when I am touched, hurt, bored, or whatever. Reason: I care. In the beginning I was sure, after having several BF's in SL, I would do it differently, but nope I guess I have only one way of playing in SL and that's being me, including the usual drama, but isn't that always a part of (second)life.

There are already too many blogs, movies, video's about this topic 'Relationships in SL', but I did wanna share my thoughts with you, my diary

Today I visited the IDFA (International Documentray Film Festival Amsterdam) and the first documentary I saw (of a total of 5) was .... 'My Avatar and Me' (big smile); a Danish creative documentary-fiction film made by Bente Milton – in cooperation with Mikkel Stolt which tells the story of a guy that enters Second Life and the influence on his RL.

I loved it and OMG the things happening to the lead actor were so familiar to all in SL. And the poses, the dances, the drama arghh I recognized a lot.

If you are interested visit their website or go and see it in Amsterdam at IDFA. Well that is if you are living near ;-)

Synopsis (I copied from the website for all you lazy people):Mikkel Stolt - is a troubled and unsuccessful documentary filmmaker, who decides to create a new identity, and join the pioneers and settlers in the virtual world “Second Life” on the other side of his computer screen. He chooses the name Mike Proud for his “avatar” and starts off with a typical off-the-shelf standard body.Shortly after his arrival, a mysterious and influential woman named Helena picks him up and takes him under her wing. Helena gives Mike a complete makeover, and turns him into a sophisticated avatar, equipped with all the animations he needs to interact with the most advanced users of Second Life.

Mikkel is very attracted to Helena, and extremely curious to find out more about her, but she refuses to meet him in real life and her true identity remains a mystery.Helena introduces Mike to Rob, a professional filmmaker who works for BBC in his real life. They become friends and decide to go into business together. The business thrives as Helena uses her in-world influence to pave the way for Mike’s career.................... read the rest of the story on the website of 'My Avatar and Me'

Couldn't resist these new Tiburon YS&YS ankle boots and combined them with the LeeZu Madison pants.

Initially I also wanted to buy the new LeeZu Maria jacket, but (sobs) .... I could not find a color to match my newly acquired Madison pants. So I took a deep dive into my closet and came up with my 'falling leaves' Pig cardigan and a Miel tulip tank top to match my new pants and boots.

It was fun, however, to visit the refurbished LeeZu shop; I hadn't been there for a while. LeeZu is one of my first fav shops in SL. I bought a lot of her clothes over the past 3,5 years and it was fun to recognize many items when strolling around the place. Mmm, maybe she will add a brown Maria jacket to the collection, who knows.

Yep Smiling and me we went exploring and here's the result. Another awesome place constructed by Cutea Benelli and Blotto Epsilon is no doubt worthwhile a visit. So for all those who did not yet discover: go and be enchanted.

On the Museum's Second Life island this organic architecture was constructed by a team of the Spencer Museum of Art, part of the Kansas university. Visit their website for more info about the Petrovsky flux: a cluster of devices that grow, assembling themselves from modular units, only to blow apart and rebuild themselves. Sooo take care of your head coz there are constantly parts of the flux falling down.

Each time they rebuild differently so the place is constantly changing. There is much to explore here! Smiling and me we had fun watching the flying sheep, sitting on the pink moving chair, jumping on the many scattered poses and sipping our wine in the little cafe. And... there is much more to discover.

Today was a weirdo day for me. My RL best friend is sick, very sick and that influenced my SL a lot of course.So no words but pics; i.e. the results of a hunt I did to put my mind on something totally utterly completely different: the Bad Juju Happy Birthday Hunt

There are 17 Birthday packages (blue) hidden throughout the first floor of the store! The prize is a special Birthday clown outfit! Well what you see in the picture is the result of the hunt ;-)

Hey I am a big fan of League skin, for sure I am. So of course I rushed over to the League store the minute I learned about the new Amber skin and got myself lots of demo's. For sure I wasn't the only one, pff lot's of lag.

Sighs well you know... is it me, coz I just don't see that much difference between my League Taylor skin and this new Amber skin?

Yep, make-up is different, lips slightly differ and the eyesbrows are lighter but the Feline version of the light Taylor skin has too. So, what to do? Doubts have spread all over me and my wallet...... All advice is welcome!

Yesterday, the new comfy NS red sweater Matt was wearing, got me into an early Christmas mood ... I put on my red Reindeer sweater and we snuggled in a boat surrounded by falling snow. Felt like December.

Matt had been shopping coz next to the sweater and the Aoharu scarf he also bought new hair from UncleWeb. Wow I like his hair, cool look! Before buying he acquired many (over 10) hairdemo's and liked them all. I bet he will return to UncleWeb...
